Great start by RIC. Good to see the to McLarens up there too.

Apart from missing the corner, I can see RIC with a penalty for that.

 

[JessicaTam]

Never mind the penalty. DNF. Stupid.

 

[kelvedon]

P plater mistake from RIC, reversing into KVY

And Mercedes dominates again.

Hopefully BCN brings a bit of excitement, as I will be in the stands at the end of the first straight!

Lots of overtaking but way too easy on that straight. Otherwise fairly straightforward race

Yep, 3 place grid penalty for BCN.

 

[moa999]

Put another car out of the race by a dumb move. Fair enough.
Don't think he would have finished higher than 10th anyway

Yep, 3 place grid penalty for BCN.

-2 pts as well

TBH I was expecting a stiffer penalty.

I think they feel sorry for him as he's in a Renault, penalty enough

Not championship points.

Two points off his FIA Super License (they get 12 every 12 months before penalties apply)

And if he loses his license he'll have to do a reverse parking test to get it back

Lots of great memes on the web about Renault's next upgrade

I take it they all include mirrors?

And reversing cameras

Nice and warm today.... cracking lap from Bottas for pole position.


Danny Ric.... 10th

 

[moa999]

Dan did well to get into Q1.
Nice spot. Perfect for turn 1

It sure is!

I think he was lucky that both Sainz and Albon made a mistake on their final lap...
